Chief,

Are you asking if you'll receive a SOC before or after the hearing? If so, normally the VA in this case will wait until after the hearing to grant any benefits or issue a SOC. The hearing is considered evidence and the VA must consider those evidence before making a decision.

Are you sure the VA got your NOD? Is it possible you got the SOC along with your initial decision. They do it that way in my RO. The SOC is just a rehash of the reasons and basis in the rating decision but there might be more clues in the SOC as to what you have to do to win.

Chief:

I never felt that I was helped by Congress Critters. I do feel that I was helped by asking for help from President Clinton. You should ask for an inquiry concerning your lost records. If you have your own copies you may want to replace them.

Good Luck on your claim.
